But it is better to leave it to your (vivo minds.

WArrumAN (Ow, at the request of the meet ing, mounted upon the toble,) ,4.(1, it %% , )iild be In vain for hint to describe his feelings on the pre sent occasion. Out all the occasions in which he had ever appeared before the public, he had ne%er experienced the kindness of his friends so much as he did 110 W j because they had manitesien to watds hint the sincerest attachment. lie coli•I -dered this to be the greatest irtionph that ever had been achieved for the trielllis of flel'llolll ; and great as his anxiety had been, he consoled himself through all his ditlicolties, under fire idea of his being supported by the best of frieuds.— H4d he not had the support and ptotectiou of Stull friends as now surrottuded him, he should nese,- have had courage to go WI with the cotsti.st iu which he had embarked. lie could lint suppose that a meeting like this had assembled •o i 4et her merely tor the sake of all humble imlivichiai like himself. Ile khev4 , they had wet t het e tor the cause of constitutional freedom, and for the be petit of the whole British Empire. lie had not been brought forward in the City of London by ati! powerful individuals : humble as he tvas, he bAd even been selected by his fellow ciiizens to oppose a corrupt influence that had fur many y ea r s oppressed the City of London ; and by their favour lie had overthiown a power as gig,ttoic a , any th a t ever existed in any plAce ihrongitout the kingdom. In this he had been ctotipletely Luc cessful. It would be fidsonie itt him to speak of himself on ...old; stn occa , ion as tlii, ; h il t hr Twist say, that how hi, earliest years—froni his boyhood. lie had imbibed the very ()riotous lie atterteards held forth in his inattirer ytars. fly had no hesitation in declaring, that his political opinions were !minded on tho3e of the late Mr. Fox i and that up to this day he had to change those opinions. Jo the year 1793, when the nation was about to he pluni!ed into a war that had for its object the destruction of tite liberty which was then begitit.ing to swing up in France, and when new principles ot taxation Avere about to be adopted without tepresentation, and this country became involved 111 a rind ‘var, which hail brought innumerable difficulties upon it ; at th a t ti the he was the first man who, in the city of London, publicly forward to op pose that war, and the principles uu which it had been entered into. lie would pasi over all the other historical events of the country, and crate to the measure that had been proposed for car rying on the war. Tile cruel and oppressive Income Tax was resorted- to ; and that Tax he opposcil, flow its commentement to its disso• lotion Ile was the first who would pe tit 0u nosiost it ; tie was the first man in the kingdom mit ot Parliament who had opposed it, and he had t last contributed in no small degree to its over t irow. All this had at least ,tended to keep the limn,• of liberty alive in the City of London, mill had led to the great victory which was recently achieved there. The whole merit of this victory must be attributed to them ; tor they hau only se lecttd him as the organ for conveying the ,r improv ed 11060115 of liberty. The triumph gained at the battle ot Waterloo was nothing continued to this ; for however honourable that vichily might have been to the persons engaged in it, he was sort y to say, that it hail not, as was asseei e n, tcrmin tied in establishing the liberties 01 Europe ; because all the continent ot Europe was now fas tened down with chains, and these chaois were rivettrd by the British Government's keeping au hr tit y in France. Since then the people looked up its vain to a reduction in the public expenditure ; no reduction took place, nor was there any re form of abuses. The battle of IVaterloo was, therefore, fought in vain, because the people derived no advantage from it. But the trinity!' Lich th e City of London had now gained was the greatest ever known. The city had always been considered the Minister's strong hold ; it was in London he had his horde of jobbers and cOntrac ttirs; and it was there where eve' y corrupt measure f tvourable to his views was made •ij originate. It %VHS thought that the citizens could never dis place those who had disregarded and insulted their „ p i n i on s ; hut the thing was now done ; the British Lion lad at length been roused, and hurled cor roption comp!etely front its seat. When he find cattle into the Corporation ot London, lie had no ti ther supporter than his worthy friend (hell in the chair. Before that time, it was d dose col pont tiou, tinder the immediate influence ot the 'Mini sters. Since then a spirit of freedom arose, which entirely appalled the Ministers. The Ministers always bad their :pilthers, %vim stypported them at the commencement of every new ineas,.re ; a d a t the commencement of the war for the critAting o r freedom on the Continent, a war whoop was raised in 793, anti at that time a meet olg ()t . Mot cfrints 111111 ilaiikur , was held At Nlerchant Taylors' Ilan. where att orthy friend of his (Ali Favell) had neatly lost his lite, because he opposed th , tn. At ano ther meeting in support 0( Nlinisiets and the war, he ( \lr. ‘Vaitliman) would have h"t his lite, if he bad not been sopported by several tricot's. All the ;4 ini life-and-fortune gentlemen were now dwindled into nothing ; and, said lie, " they have lett is disloyal ; :entleinert to carry every thing swimmingly before they now dare to meet in :4 Lit, le corner of the City, and call them selves the LetTal Livery of London ? No, they %%ill nut vriittite to do so lie had heard malty com plaints tn,tile at different tittles of tire great cla mour and uproar which took place at elections ; but in whit nt.lnner would these persons describe their meeting of Loyal Liverymen. who only assem bled together to quarrel atid ki k each other out of doors.—( 4tighter.)—lle knew many Liverymen had been (.I)liued to vote for melt who had wronged and insulted them. lint the opinions of men had since been changed ; he had ascertainud that to be the fact in the course of his ei.tivass.
